Well Hung

Ok, dried fish, no problem.  Fowl I can kind of deal with.  But a pig's snout??..  What the HELL are you supposed to do with that?  I know there's this movement towards non-waste and 'nose-to-tail' eating, but I don't think they meant literally.

On a different note, homie's colour coordination game is pretty tight.

Greatness is Fleeting

Zhujiajiao

Zhujiajiao (朱家角) which literally means "Zhu family corner", is an ancient water town located on the outskirts of Shanghai.  Dating back over 1700 years, there are a total of 36 walking bridges that cross the numerous waterways lining the town.  From Shanghai, you can get there by public bus in about an hour for only US$1.  Once there, you can spend the afternoon wandering the lanes, checking out the little shops, having tea by the riverbank, and trying some local food.  It's a nice way to do something a little different outside of the city.
